Chapter 77: Crisis

The next day, on the river wharf in Wuping County.

"Wu Yong, let me tell you, my batch of goods is worth five hundred taels, you have to send it to me well, in case something goes wrong along the way, I won't spare you!" After Wu Youwei signed the cargo insurance policy, he said to Wu Yong.

The so-called cargo insurance policy means that every time the shipment is shipped, the shipman and the person in charge of the terminal will value the goods, and if the goods are in transit due to their own reasons, then the terminal will be responsible for compensating the owner of the goods.

Ye Xu has been busy opening up new careers recently, so he temporarily let Wu Yong be the person in charge of the river wharf in Wuping County.

Wu Yong smiled, signed the cargo insurance policy, tore off half of it and handed it to Wu Youwei as a receipt, and said, "Don't worry, Boss Wu, this batch of goods is guaranteed to be delivered smoothly!" ”

"That's good." Wu Youwei touched his beard and said, secretly making a small calculation in his heart.

Ye Xu, this time you just wait to lose a pair of pants to the sky.

At night, Wu Zhuang and his party were drinking and playing in Yefu, so unhappy.

"You said that Brother Xu is really powerful, in less than half a year, he has become the richest man in our Wuping County, and if this continues, in less than three years, we can become the richest man in Garo City!" Wu Zhuang said proudly.

"Yes, you look at how many industries we have now, and we live in such a big house, I really don't even dare to think about it in the past!" Wu Yong also said with the strength of wine: "In a few days, I plan to go back to a small fishing village to build a big house for my father and mother!" ”

"Now our drunken immortal building has almost surpassed Linglong Pavilion to become the first restaurant in Wuping County! Recently, I discussed with Brother Xu whether to open a branch in the next county! Let them go to Gallo City in the Drunken Immortal Tower, no, to the entire Daxuan Dynasty! Ju'er also said excitedly.

"And my group of escorts, now they also look the same, if anyone makes trouble in the future, we don't need to call that group of officials over!" Chu Ge said proudly.

"Thanks to our Ye Gongzi, me and my group of brothers, now I live in Wuping County!" Zhao Popi said with a smile.

"Hehe, Zhao Popi, how good are you to talk to our brother Xu earlier?" Wu Zhuang quipped.

Zhao Popi's face turned red, and he kept muttering: "Isn't it that I hate to meet Ye Gongzi late, besides, Zhuang Gongzi, don't call me Zhao Popi anymore, I told you, my name is Zhao Liang." ”

"Okay, Zhao Liang, let's have a drink!" Wu Zhuang put his arm around Zhao Liang's shoulders and said.

In the midst of laughter, I saw Ye Xu taking Zhang Ergui to everyone.

"Ye Xu, you're here! Zhang Ergui, you have a really good nose, do you know that we have wine here? Saved? Wu Yong said with a smile.

"Brother, don't pay attention to them, you must be tired for a day, come on, eat something!" Ye Xuan hugged Ye Xu's arm and said.

After Ye Xu took his seat, he looked at Wu Yong with a serious face and asked, "Wu Yong, did you sign a chapter worth five hundred taels of goods to Wu Youwei today?" ”

Wu Yong replied: "Yes, the shopkeeper Wu also told me that this batch of goods is very important, so I will deliver it safely, I was afraid that something would happen on the way, and I asked Chu Ge to ask a few young people from the escort team to help escort it!" ”

Ye Xu sighed, glanced at Wu Yong and said, "Do you know what Wu Youwei's goods are?" ”

"It seems to be fruit," Wu Yong recalled.

"Since you know it's fruit, why didn't you keep it warm with ice cubes in the morning to prevent it from rotting?" Ye Xu said a little annoyed.

"It's just some ordinary fruits, and they are transported to Liangcai County next door, and they can be delivered within a day, how can they rot?" Wu Yong looked at Ye Xu a little puzzled.

"Those are bayberry!" Ye Xu said: "Under normal circumstances, bayberry does not have ice to keep warm, and it will rot in half a day, coupled with the humid environment at sea, when that batch of fruits is transported to Liangcai County, more than half of them have already rotted!" Now Wu Youwei is suing us at the yamen to compensate him 5,000 taels! ”

"Five thousand taels?" Wu Yong stood up violently and said, "Impossible, the cargo insurance policy is clearly written on five hundred taels?" For what reason did he ask us for five thousand taels? ”

Ye Xu rubbed his eyebrows and said: "It's true that the cargo insurance policy is written as five hundred taels, but Wu Youwei claimed in Yamen today that this batch of bayberry has been circulated, and many people in Liangcai County are unwell after eating the fruit, and they all ask him to lose money, and after roughly calculating, it will cost about five thousand taels of silver... So we were asked to be responsible for compensating him for the money. ”

"This..."Wu Yong's face turned green: "Our county order will definitely not support such an excessive request, right?" ”

Zhang Ergui shook his head with a wry smile: "If it is left in our Wuping County, the county order will definitely not support it, but this incident happened in Liangcai County... What you mean by that is that if this is true... This money is still to be lost... After all, it involves our friendly relationship with Liangcai County. ”

"Okay, don't fight about this anymore." Ye Xu waved his hand and said: "Tomorrow, the working capital on the accounts of the Zuixian Building and the distillery will each take out 1,500 taels, and the river wharf is the main person responsible for this accident, take out an extra 500 taels, a total of 5,000 taels of silver, and send it to the yamen tomorrow." ”

"Brother Xu, this is five thousand taels!" Wu Zhuang couldn't help but say: "This Wu Youwei clearly wants to put us together, are we being bullied by him like this?" ”

Ye Xu opened his eyes and said slowly: "I just asked you to send the money to the yamen, did I say that I would give him the money?" ”

"Wu Zhuang, Zhao Popi, you guys will go to Liangcai County overnight to do some things."

"Zhang Ergui, you go back and tell the county order, and ask him to inform Wu Youwei that tomorrow afternoon, I, Ye Xu, will be waiting for him in the yamen!"

In the afternoon of the next day, the county yamen.

Wu Youwei and Ye Xu both stood in the yamen.

"Ye Xu, the plaintiff Wu Youwei sued you for failing to fulfill your responsibility for transportation, causing his goods to rot, causing many people in Liangcai County to eat his goods and get sick, and asked you to compensate five thousand taels of silver, do you admit it?" The county magistrate said solemnly in the public court.

The corners of Ye Xu's mouth rose slightly, and he said lightly: "I recognize..."

Then Ye Xu clapped his hands, and Chu Ge brought a large box with a few subordinates, and after opening it, there were five thousand taels of silver inside.

"Okay, Shopkeeper Ye is really bold." Wu Youwei clapped his hands, nodded proudly, and then beckoned his entourage to move the five thousand taels of silver.

"Wait. Wu shopkeeper. Ye Xu grabbed Wu Youwei's hand and said.

"What, Ye Xu, do you want to regret it?" Wu Youwei stared at Ye Xu.

"No, I, Ye Xu, am not this kind of treacherous person." Ye Xu smiled and said, "It's just... I'm going to sue Shopkeeper Wu now, but Shopkeeper Wu should stay first. ”
